Thanks for the suggestion Drummin. I tried your fix but it makes no difference at all so I'll leave it in place. I still get an email but it also still invokes a new window with the error report. So I'm still looking for help.

Hi, I'm using an excellent script for a guestbook but when I get a notification that someone has signed in the message I get has an error report. The code looks OK to me but there must be something amiss. Here's the code snippet that notifies of a post if (strtoupper($notify) == "YES") { $msgtitle = "Someone signed your guestbook"; $vcomment = str_replace(""","\"",$vcomment); $vcomment = stripslashes($vcomment); $vcomment = str_replace("<br>","\n",$vcomment); $msgcontent = "Local time : $tgl\n\nThe addition from $vname :\n----------------------------\n\n$vcomment\n\n-----End Message-----"; @mail($admin_email,$msgtitle,$msgcontent,"From: $vemail\n"); } [/codr] The error report says.. [error] XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: http://webmail.whatapicture.biz/mewebmail/HooDoo/Servlet/request.aspx?Cmd=GET-MESSAGE&Browser=2&Folder=%2FInbox&ID=3B207097F31F4D1299310AD0591EA8D7.MAI&BODY=0&DT=1305930258851 Line Number 1, Column 284:<BASEELEMENT SCHEMA="MESSAGE" METHOD="GET-MESSAGE"><ELEMENT ID="3B207097F31F4D1299310AD0591EA8D7.MAI"><FOLDER><![CDATA[\Inbox]]></FOLDER><TO><![CDATA[admin@qualitycarersdirect.com]]></TO><SUBJECT><![CDATA[someone signed your guestbook]]></SUBJECT><RECEIVED>Fri, 20 May 2011 16:52:15 0000</RECEIVED><ATTACHMENTS EXISTS="0"></ATTACHMENTS></ELEMENT><RETURNVALUE>1</RETURNVALUE></BASEELEMENT> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^ [/error] Can anyone help please?

As so often happens, the coding angel visited me in my sleep and told me to grant write permission to the dat file. I see here that you also could have been that angel so thankyou anyway. Why am I so stupid? Thanks jcbones.

No. It's supposewd to be saved to a .dat file. The file is present. It just doesn't accept entires.

Hi, I've just installed a guestbook but when posting a message (signing in) it shows 'no entries yet'. On clicking the submit a very quick screen splashes up with a load of writing out of whoch I could just read ...line function open data file... You can check it out at www.qualitycarersdirect.com/careasp/portal.asp then click on 'post on the baord' it is a php file.

Wow you guys are so awesome and so quick. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

Hi, This is driving me to distraction. I have been using this code <?php $mailto = "edwin@btconnect.com"; $subject = "enquiry"; $message = "Values submitted from web site form:"; $header = "From: ".$_POST['email']; foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { if (!is_array($value)) { $message .= "\n".$key." : ".$value; } else { foreach ($_POST[$key] as $itemvalue) { $message .= "\n".$key." : ".$itemvalue; } } } mail($mailto, $subject, stripslashes($message), $header); ?> very successfully but now I want to receive information from a 'textarea' in a form but it just doesn't get treated as input. The form is here; <form name="enquiry" method="post" action="feedback.php"> <tr> <td align="left">Name:</td> <td align="right"><input type="text" name="name" size="25" value=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">email:</td> <td align="right"><input type="text" name="email" size="25" value=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Blurb:</td> <td align="right"><textarea rows="4" cols="19" value=""></textarea></td> </tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align="right"> <input name="submit" type="image" src="report.gif" width="40" height="20" border="0"> </td></tr></form> Can anyone please help? edwind
